long period - premenopause symptom ? Posted: 05-17-08 23:09pm
I am on the end of the 3rd week of having
my period. It is normal, then goes quite
heavy with lots of blood clots, goes to
almost nothing, for about 4 hours, then
right back to having my period again. Is
this premenopause?

Hi,
If you don't mind, may I ask how old you
are? When I was in my forties I had long,
heavy periods and I began to use a natural
progesterone cream and they became lighter
and more normal. The symptoms you have
show you have a hormone imbalance and
sometimes a bit more progesterone is
needed to regulate cycles. If you do some
research you can find information on the
subject and see if it might be a solution
for you.

You should see your doctor. It could be a
fibrous uterine tumor. They are benign but
will result in long periods. This will
lead to anemia and can become serious. Any
prolonged and heavy bleeding needs to be
investigated by your doctor.
